The Fourth Watch by H. A. Cody

Like many of Hiram Alfred Cody's novels, If Any Man Sin is set in the rough-and-tumble frontier of the Canadian Yukon. Clergyman Martin Rutland has been cast out of the church due to bad behavior. He tries to make a fresh start, but finds that his past misdeeds keep catching up to him.

Written with younger audiences in mind, this engaging tale follows the life of Rodney, a boy who was abandoned as a toddler and raised by the kindly Parson Dan and his wife. But before long, Rod encounters problems with other members of the community who aren't quite as welcoming.

Hiram Alfred Cody was a Canadian clergyman who turned to writing in his spare time, eventually completing dozens of novels over the course of his career. Jess of the Rebel Trail is something of a departure from many of Cody's works. It follows the fortunes of Jess, a rebellious, independent-minded young woman who suddenly finds herself at the center of a family scandal.

At the urging of his mentor, young journalist Tom Reynolds makes his way to the gold mining territory in the far northern reaches of the Canadian Yukon to investigate the mysterious disappearance of eccentric millionaire Henry Redmond. Soon enough, Reynolds finds himself in hot water. Will he crack the case before it's too late?

These words drawled slowly forth produced an immediate effect, and caused fifty people to straighten suddenly up and look enquiringly around. The reporter of The Live Wire gave one lightning glance toward the speaker, and then began to write rapidly upon his pad lying before him. The chairman, too, was visibly affected. He leaned forward, and searched the room with his small squinting eyes.
